"The consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a testimony of her
sovereignty; a loyal submission to her authority; a filial and constant
love in return; a commitment to work towards the establishment of her
royalty in God’s kingdom, which is the Church, so that she may be loved,
venerated, and served by each one of us in the family, in society, and
in the world." ~ Pius XII at the Crowning of our Lady of Fatima - May
13, 1946
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of the Heart of Jesus, our Queen and
our Mother! Look down with mercy upon this Parish of Our Lady of the
Rosary. We wish to show thee our filial love and to render to thee our
homage by this solemn act.
We come to offer thee our whole being, body and soul, faculties and
senses, our life with all its sorrows and joys, all that we possess, all
that we are, all that we love.
O Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God and Mother of all men! We consecrate
ourselves and our Parish of Our Lady of the Rosary to thy Immaculate
Heart. Receive us as thy children.
May thy Heart be for all us priests, teachers and catechists, parents
and children, young people, adult and elderly, healthy and sick, absent,
present and fallen away the path that leads to God.
Reign over us, O Beloved Mother, so that we may be thine both in
prosperity and in adversity, in joy and in sorrow, in health and in
sickness, in life and in death.
O most compassionate Heart of Mary, Queen of Virgins, watch over our
minds and our hearts and preserve them from the flood of pride, impurity
and paganism of which thou didst complain so bitterly at Fatima.
From this moment, thou art named Queen and Mother of this Parish of Our
Lady of the Rosary. Look after our spiritual and temporal well-being,
hear our prayers and console us in the sorrows and tribulations of this
life and particularly at the hour of our death.
We want to call down upon our families, this Parish of Our Lady of the
Rosary, our country and the whole world the peace of God in justice and
charity.
On our part, we promise to imitate thy virtues in a spirit of reparation
and penance, by a true Christian life, by frequent confessions and holy
Communions, by fervent participation in Holy Mass, by attentive study of
the catechism without regard to human respect.
O Queen of the Holy Rosary, we promise to offer thee the prayer of the
rosary each day.
We accept now, all the sacrifices that a Christian life will impose on
us, and we offer them to the Heart of Jesus, by thy Immaculate Heart, in
union with the Mass of thy divine Son.
O Mother of fair love, inflame in our hearts, in this Parish of Our Lady
of the Rosary, and our homes, with the divine fire to keep us faithful
to our duty of state and to become, with the grace of God, zealous
apostles towards our neighbors and poor sinners by our example, our
sacrifices and prayers, bringing them to the practice of the true Faith.
May the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, together with thy reign,
enter this Parish of Our Lady of the Rosary, our Queen and our Mother,
so that living truly consecrated to thy love and service, we may one day
deserve eternal happiness in the presence of the Holy Trinity. Amen.
